Hi there, It is such a pitty that the developer of the Google Maps app isn’t around anymore… This excellent app isn’t updated to the SDK4, and therefor not usable on the new Homey Pro. We are using this app every work day to tell us the live traffic situation from home to work. That way we know when to leave, and if there are abnormailities on the way to work. For that reason, I have to keep the new and old homey alive. Isn’t there any way to get this app updated? Someone willing to take over the project…? Would be so greatly appreciated! ---

Hello Ari Thanks a lot for answering! These are the flows used to get traffic info home-\>work: Fetch data from Google maps: Write data to homey variables: Push info to phone notification: Push info to Google Nest speaker: I also have the same flowcards for work-\>home traffic. If this could be done with your app too, I would be very grateful 😉 Regards J ---

I see that there is already a new app. However, it still does not work despite a good apikey. I only see that there is no forum section for this app and I can not contact the developer either. Maybe someone else can give it a try. ---

Maybe this app is of use to you? > **[ETA Google Maps](https://homey.app/en-us/app/nl.ronvangestel.ETA_google_maps/ETA-Google-Maps/)** > > Gives an estimated time of arrival Forum: > [@\[App\]\[Pro\] ETA google maps](https://community.homey.app/t/113530): > > I’ve started developing a new app that uses Google Maps to fetch the estimated travel time (ETA) from work to home (Homey’s location). I’ve been using it to announce at home that “Dad will be home in XX minutes,” and my wife gets a message that dinner should be ready in X minutes. I thought it was a funny touch, but my wife didn’t find it as amusing! [Verwachte Aankomsttijd Google Maps App voor Homey | Homey](https://homey.app/nl-nl/app/nl.ronvangestel.ETA_google_maps/Verwachte-Aankomsttijd-Google-Maps/) I can’t test because I don’t have and don’t want a creditcard. ---

This app works fine. This is exactly what I was looking for. Is there a possibility to do time minus minutes. This is so that I get the time when I arrive home ---

YW! Please ask in the app topic I linked to. The dev will get nudged also that way.
